Nasreddine Nabi apologises following Kaizer Chiefs' defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns, makes plea to Amakhosi fans - 'This is a temporary thing... don't panic'

Kaizer Chiefs lost 1-0 to Mamelodi Sundowns in a Premier Soccer League match at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday.

The result saw Sundowns completing back-to-back wins over the Soweto giants in the league this season.

It was the third time for Masandawana to beat Chiefs this season, having also registered victory in the Carling Knockout.

Amakhosi coach Nasreddine Nabi is aware of the club fans' anger after allowing Masandawana to dominate them and tries to calm them down.

“I would like to pass a message to the fans and apologise to them for where we are on the log standing,” Nabi said as per Sowetan Live.

“It doesn't reflect the performances we have been having. We are working hard, and we want to assure the supporters this is a temporary thing. We are sure the team will finish the league in a higher position than we are right now. 

“We are feeling the improvement of the players in these big games where they show character and good mindset. It's only the small things that could have made the difference in those big games, don't panic,” added the Tunisian.

What could be angering Chiefs fans is that defeats in the last two games have left their club at risk of missing out on a top-three finish.

Ending the season at number three is still realistic for Chiefs, but with the way they have been inconsistent, that worries their fans.

Soweto giants are currently in position eight on the table with 29 points fewer than log leaders Masandawana and six less than third-placed Sekhukhune United.

After recording defeats in their last two PSL matches, Chiefs will be keen on picking themselves up when they host Magesi FC at FNB Stadium on Tuesday.

With Magesi desperate to escape relegation, they could be dangerous and upset the Soweto giants.
